Chapter 44: The ruthless

When they arrived at Zhongcui Palace, the empress, the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, and the concubine had already received the emperor's order to move the emperor, and they all knelt down at the palace gate to pick up the horse. The sound of the bells and swallows kept ringing. The emperor smiled and waved his hand, "It's all a family, there is no need to give a big gift."

The queen stood up, followed the emperor, and sat in the warm room, "Can the emperor have lunch?"

"Not yet." He said with a smile, "I'm here today, I'm thinking of something to ask you, has my little sister come to the palace recently?"

"I came last month," the queen replied inexplicably, "I haven't come to the palace this month." Seeing her husband's strange expression, she asked again, "Master, is there something wrong?"

“There’s something to do.”

After hearing the emperor's story, the queen was also stunned. The national affairs cannot be made by women. This is the ancestral system. What's more, in the past year, for the matter between Yi and Guiliang, she criticized the emperor twice in a row. She became more cautious and cautious. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What should I do?"

"I think, you sister-in-law, tell her, don't let him hang around with the slaves below - Bai Wei, a gentleman like Weng Xin has given me a heavy lesson. Isn't it all for the slaves below to be disobedient and bring disaster to the master?"

"I can say that I can naturally say it, but I don't always come to the palace,... Is it difficult to pass the imperial edict on this matter?"

The emperor's eyes turned and thought of the idea, "You go once."

"ah?"

"What are you afraid of? Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a deep love. Who doesn't know about the royal family? Find an excuse and go through the mansion once and talk about old love. Fortunately, you can relax and stay in this palace all day long, and you are very pitiful." He said with a smile, "I told her by the way. What do you think?"

"What the emperor said is of course good. But what reason should I find?" The queen blinked and suddenly said, "Why might the emperor go together, right? When my younger sister came to the palace to pay her respects several times, she didn't see the emperor. She also said that after the emperor's brother was in power, the chances of brothers and sisters meeting were less than before."

"I'm going too?" He said, asking and answering, "Okay, I haven't had a younger sister for a long time. I happened to find an opportunity to go to her mansion to take a look. I will issue an order in the future and prepare to take over the prince's mansion!"

The emperor was in charge of the ministers' residence, and it was not a mistake to visit the house like the emperor who was traveling in a miserable manner. He always had to find an excuse, or in other words, the ministers had to submit a memorial request. The emperor would like to pass the order and order Shuntian Mansion, the Interior Office and other government offices to prepare for the reception. As for the reasons, he could give a sigh! After making up his mind, his mood immediately became cheerful, "Six blessings, pass on the imperial kitchen, and serve him in Zhongcui Palace tonight."

"Zhe." Liu Fu agreed loudly, turned around and went out to deliver the order.

The emperor looked around and realized that Yang Guiren was not present, "Why, didn't she come?"

"The girl in the Yang family has a body and is so pitiful that I am the one who takes the initiative to save her from paying tribute every morning." The queen smiled generously, explained a few words for her, and said, "Emperor, Sister Yang is finally pregnant with the blood of the Tian family. When she is pleased, she has lost her etiquette. Your Majesty shouldn't blame her, right?"

"No?" He was stunned for a moment, "When did I say I would blame her? To be honest, I haven't seen her in the past few days."

The queen was funny in her heart. After all, her husband did not lose his mind and sometimes she would lose his attention. "Your Majesty, you probably don't know yet, right? Sister Yang is so distressed!"

“How to say it?”

The queen sighed and explained to him a few words. It turned out that after Yang Guiren entered the palace, he received favors and became pregnant in less than two months. This is naturally a great thing, but because of Yang Guiren's selfish thoughts, he was full of self-pity and self-deprecation! He was summoned to the industry and served the emperor with his own sex. Although it was difficult to disobey the order of the emperor, but now he thinks about it, he is afraid that he will feel half-supported in his heart. When he thinks about it, he always has a few tears. This kind of unopened mind is the most unfavorable for nurturing the baby, so her reaction is even stronger.

The emperor only knew that after she was pregnant, she vomited very badly, and did not think much about it. When the empress, Concubine Lan and Concubine Qian were pregnant, which one of them was not vomiting darkly and had a pale face? So he didn't care much about it. Today, when the queen talked about it, he frowned slightly, "Then, has the imperial physician ever been rumored to have a pulse case?"

"Please have been invited, but the doctor at the Imperial Hospital said that heart disease is difficult to cure. She always needs to be able to let go of her arms, which is the cure for the root cause."

The emperor remained silent for a long time, and he looked very disapproving. The queen knew his temperament and should not talk about such topics in depth, so as not to make him angry and mixed up the rare time when the couple gathered together. "Oh, my elder sister, I have a happy event, and I want to go back to the emperor. You will be happy after hearing this."

Sure enough, the emperor's attention was distracted, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Yehenara smiled shyly and said, "Isn't this? A few days ago, the slave's sister came into the palace and greeted the queen. She went to the slave's room and said something about it, which was related to the big princess."

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the princes and princesses' family were not allowed to marry independently, so the queen mother or the emperor chose it, called "Finger Marriage". The princess was Yi's eldest daughter. She was born in the first year of Xianfeng and gradually grew up a little. She recruited the emperor into the palace and personally trained it. She also gave her the name Jia title. Not only was the first in the princess' family, but the queen's biological prince Xiuhui, who also competed with her.

Everyone knows that although the emperor wants to win over his brothers, he does not pretend to be a good person and show it to others. Therefore, it is said that it is not enough to be the first time for the princess to surrender before he surrenders. At the age of the year, the emperor will definitely issue an order to "tie the marriage". It is not an exaggeration to be considered a lord. No matter who gets this marriage, it will be no problem to show his career in the future.

But in the emperor's opinion, the eldest princess is only twelve years old this year, and is still far from the age to get married, so naturally he doesn't care much about it. However, he doesn't think that his own knowledge is still a little far from this era. There are many girls who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Once when talking to the queen, he just said it casually, "I'm not busy yet, please pay attention!"

After saying this, the eunuchs and palace maids whom I heard beside me took it as an interesting thing and talked about it privately. The news reached the palace outside the palace. All the Eight Banners nobles, who had unmarried children in their teens, were paid attention to it, but their thoughts were different. Some people thought that "Shangzhu" was troublesome, not glory, while others were moved and wanted to climb up the marriage.

The majority of people who want to go high are naturally the ones, and there is a general who is particularly keen on. He was thinking that the eldest princess was favored by the emperor and was also the beautiful daughter of King Gong, which was naturally inferior to the genuine princess. However, the two princesses Xiuhui and Yinghui are the most naughty and are very famous in the capital. Whoever married such a wife would inevitably be angry for life, but they were not as noble as the eldest princess and had a good temperament. Once this marriage is formed, they will become Prince Gong's children and in-laws, release the "general" and be promoted to the governor, but they are just concerned about the affairs of the intercourse. This opportunity is no matter what!

Of course, he had this idea because there was a way there. This general was named Tuo Yunbao. He was a member of the Yellow Banner of the Xishan Ruijian Camp. When the Shenji Camp was newly built, he changed to the camp and served as the general in charge of the camp. Tuo Yunbao was very loyal and not very greedy. The Shenji Camp was regulated and rectified, and he didn't have any way to be greedy. Later, he was in charge of the camp affairs and practiced martial arts with his family. King Chun wanted to "reorganize the army and martial arts" to see himself, so he often talked about war and swords, and gradually cultivated his friendship. Tuo Yunbao thought that Chun Beile and the present, King Gong were brothers, and his concubine was the sister of Lan Zhuer. He would enter the palace in a few days. The relationship between sisters was extraordinary, and this path would definitely be able to be done.

So he cleansed his clothes and arrived at Chun Beile Mansion in Taiping Lake in Xuanwu Gate - a regular guest who was used to come. King Chun was just plain clothes to meet him. In less than three words, he asked Yun Bao to stand up and invite An An and said, "Seventh Master!"

Zai Chun quickly supported him and asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"I heard that the emperor is going to assign a lie to the great princess. Did Master Qi hear that?"

"This is something? I didn't hear it. Why?"

"My child," Toutiao asked Yunbao for an invitation to have an angel, "Seventh Master has seen it, and it's all thanks to the seventh Master."

Zai Chun was silenced. He was thinking in his heart that although Yun Bao was under the jurisdiction of the Three Banners, his family background was ordinary. His only son Akdan had a bad character and was born with a majestic character, like a blessed person. He was born to stutter and speak without being neat. This problem was destined to be unable to walk in front of the emperor. He could not be close to the heavenly face. What big hopes do he have?

"Seventh Master!" Toutiao Yunbao saw that he was afraid of difficulties and said, "I know that Seventh Master is very kind to you. It's just a matter of great things. As long as Seventh Master is willing to nod, my kid will be lucky."

Zaichun finally made Tuo Yunbao's high hat with a foot ruler plus two, and he was confused, as if he felt that this was not difficult, so he agreed with ease. After Tuo Yunbao said goodbye, he thought for a while and thought of a way to teach his wife, intending to let Fujin enter the palace to be a lobbyist.

Who knew that Yehenara shook her head like a rattle and refused to agree, "You forgot what happened last time? If it weren't for the queen's preservation, she would almost end up in a mess, and she would come this time?"

"This time is not as good as the last time," Zai Chun explained patiently, "this is family matter, not official matter. Then again, the eldest princess is getting older and it is time to consider this matter. The sixth sister-in-law is not willing to ask for help. Just as you are about to come forward, I will tell her about it. Even if it doesn't work, it will be better to open the road because of this matter, so as not to be able to see the queen, so as before, is it not impossible to see the queen?"

Yehenara knew that her husband was saying that she and Guarja came to the palace and asked the queen for mercy, but they angered the emperor. For nearly a year, they did not allow the three sisters-in-law to meet. Thinking of this, he felt that her husband might not have said anything wrong, so he agreed.

So after searching for a day, they went into the palace. The sisters talked first. After fighting for Concubine Lan nodded, they arrived in the queen's harem in the name of paying tribute. The sister-in-law had not seen each other for many days and had a chat for a while. Because there was a palace maid next to her, it was inconvenient to have a deep conversation.

Zai Chung Fujin's verbal skills were far different from his sister. He was worried that the queen would not agree, so he made even more confusion, so he winked at his sister. Yehenara's ability to observe and distinguish colors was almost innate. When she saw her sister's ridiculous and pitiful look, she knew that she would still have to say it. After waiting for a while, she found a gap and brought up the matter, "I heard that the emperor is going to marry the eldest princess?"

"How do you know? Who said that?"

"It's spread all over the place," she said again, "I'm the girl, entrusted by Uncle Qi, and I have a few words to tell my sister in person."

"What's wrong?" The queen looked very interested, "Uncle Qi wants to be this media?"

"Yes!" This time, Yehenara replied with a smile, and then described To Yunbao and his son, so he naturally said how beautiful they were.

"This..." the queen smiled shyly, "It's not that I'm refuting Aunt Qi's face. I've talked to the emperor about this. He doesn't seem to be very anxious. I just said, wait a few more years, and wait a few more years. I don't have to ask for it again and again. Besides, I'm asking Yun Bao, is it as good as you said? Where are you working now? So what about his son? The emperor's affection for the big princess is extraordinary!"

"Does my sister think his family background is ordinary?"

"Isn't it?" said the queen: "How can so many sons of princes and ministers get their turn? Then what is Akdan doing now?"

"It's a third-class shrimp."

"But here again, even the Blue-Feng Guard didn't flatter you! Not to mention the wronged child, how can I explain to Uncle Six?"

"The grace of the superior, Liu Master and Liu Sister-in-law can't say anything!" Yehenara thought for a while and said, "Yongzheng pointed out the daughter of the Baoyi family to the Iron Hat King as the legitimate wife!"

The queen didn't study much, so she forced her younger brother and sister to say this. As Lan Concubine took turns to fight, she could only nodded, "Okay, look for a life, I'll tell the emperor. For such a thing, he always nodded and issued an order."

So she took this matter to heart, and caught up with the emperor coming to the palace today, and so many sisters were present to get the matter out.

After hearing this, the emperor burst into laughter, "You guys, you're really worried. The big princess is less than twelve years old this year, and it will be almost done if you wait ten years."

"Eh?" The queen was stunned. In addition to choosing a beautiful girl, she went to the palace to be a palace maid, and released on the expiration date. How could anyone choose a son-in-law to marry her? She was so old that she still didn't get married?

The emperor saw it and said with a smile, "In the future, I will issue an edict for such marriages. The Ministry of Revenue will amend the Qing Dynasty laws and regulations to change the age of a woman who is suitable for marriage to twenty years old."

"But, Master, Rong Nucai asked boldly, why is this?"

"Both men and women have not matured physically and mentally. They are not married too early, and they are harmful but not beneficial in their long-term plans." His eyes swept around, "Do you not think so? This is not my nonsense. In the future, I will ask Western scientific talents for help and make a formal report, and you will understand."

"But," he turned his eyes and smiled again, "This is a good opportunity, why not take advantage of it."

"Prince, what good opportunity?"

He smiled like a child who had just had a prank, "Of course, it's a good opportunity to leave the palace just right!" He said again, "Let's find Akdan first and then talk about it."

******************************************

After talking for a while, the emperor moved to Changchun Palace. Yang Guiren reluctantly sorted out the etiquette and answered the palace at the gate of the palace, "I'm going to see the emperor."

"I heard that your body is still not good recently?" When I entered the palace and sat down, the emperor asked Yang Guiren to sit beside him and asked with her hand.

"It's okay to be a bad person." Yang Guiren lifted up his slightly swollen eyelids, looked at the person beside the pillow, and said softly.

"You always keep things in your heart. Not only will you be mentally harbored, but you will also work hard physically. The most important thing is that it is not good for the child in your womb. You won't want the child to be born, just like Lin Daiyu, and cry all day long, right?"

Yang Guiren has been married to him for a long time and knows that he is good at making jokes. This time he thought he was joking again, so he pulled open the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Master, you don't have to make me laugh."

"If you have any worries, just tell me that as long as you can do it, I will send someone to cook for you." He said, "Are you homesick? If so, I will issue an order to Shanxi, and ask Zhang Jixin to do some jobs, pick some familiar people in your family and have interesting words. Xuan came to Beijing to talk to you, and be happy?"

"Slave..."

"Oh. Also, after a few days, I will move to the garden and the construction there will be almost finished. I have asked Sushun to build one of the scenery with the style of Shanxi. At that time, you will live there and name it Xinghua Village. What do you think?"

Hearing the man's nagging, all of them were caring words. The woman coughed lightly, and her eyes turned red. "Your Majesty, you have some affection for me,... I can't repay you, but..." She thought about it, and suddenly stood up and fell down. "Your Majesty, if there is any disrespect in my words, please punish the emperor."

"I won't blame you, tell me." He said, "Get up, get up and talk."

Yang Guiren knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the heart of a servant has been given to his husband. Now he serves the emperor with beauty, and is favored by his father alone. I think he is even more ashamed! You are showing your compassion and letting the servant go back? You have no choice but to repay your kindness to your servant. If you have a next life, you are willing to be a cow and a horse and repay the emperor!"

The emperor only felt that a burst of heat rushed up to his cheeks violently, and he didn't have to look at them in a mirror. He knew that he must be red and blood-sprayed! "You..., can you say that this way? Am I not good to you? Is the child in your womb not my bones and blood? The blood of the Tian family is of great importance, so you actually want to take him out of the palace? It will spread to you in the future. How do people in the world see me?"

"Emperor," Yang Guiren cried out with a sorrow, touching his head with force, "How dare the slave bring the descendants of the Tian family out of the palace privately, just to give birth to the flesh and blood in the future, and ask the emperor to release the slave out of the palace!"

"Bastard!" The emperor was furious, "Don't do this with me! Do you want to go back to Shanxi to keep your rituals for your deceased husband? Don't forget that your body has been enjoyed by the man next to you, do you want to ask for another chastity archway?"

"How can a famous instrument in the court be used by the slaves?" Yang Guiren is truly a leader who has mastered Fengze for many years. His words are sharp and extraordinary. "Even if the emperor wants to reward him, the servants will never dare to receive the order." She raised her head, her extremely bright face was shiny, and she said, "As for the word "Qing Ming", the emperor is not afraid of, what else do you fear?"

"You..." The emperor didn't understand for a moment, and was stunned for a moment before he woke up. She said that as the emperor, she was lucky and even favored widows among the people of the people of the country. This was a shameful thing. Yang Guiren entered the palace, and he was originally a gift for people from other provinces to chat after dinner, but it was related to the emperor and did not dare to speak loudly. Now that she was questioning Yang Guiren in person, the emperor was indecisive.

"You... don't dream." The emperor thought for a long time, and then gave the words of the past. He didn't know where he went at this moment. He could only say viciously, "Just stay in this palace honestly until the day when he dies of old age!"
